Vintage 18k Jaeger-LeCoultre 1940s Watch Running Well Tear Drop Lugs Yellow Gold

  

Beautiful vintage 18k yellow gold LeCoultre manual wind watch from the late 1940s. This is a piece of art and a rare watch with the seconds sub-dial. The watch case is just over 31mm across and the back is not inscribed. Tear drop lugs come down to a gorgeous new-old stock Hirsch 17 crock grain leather band. Crazy crystal has faceted edge, never saw that before.

I've seen similar watches get some crazy prices but I'm going to price this one a little more down to earth. Ran the watch for a week and it's keeping good time. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Gold standards in most countries are 10k, 14k, 18k and 22k. These are averages and while a piece may be marked 14k please be aware that the gold content itself could have a variance of up to 1.5k. This means something marked 14k could be in a range from 12.5k to 15.5k. This is especially true of vintage pieces as technology wasn?

With gemstones, we guarantee everything described as a diamond has been tested. With colored gemstones however, particularly when small secondary stones, we make our best efforts to be accurate in the description but there could be some variance as to what the stone is.

Colored stones of nominal value and semi-precious stones can? T be accurately tested unless sent to an organization such as GIA.
